Freefly Astro Max
BATTERIES & CHARGER SOLD SEPARATELY: Astro uses two Freefly SL8-Air batteries; per flight. It's recommended to get 4 SL8 batteries and 2 SL8 Fast Chargers to get flying.
Astro Max by Freefly is the next-generation compact industrial drone platform, able to carry valuable payloads in high-pressure situations with a flight time of up to 39 minutes. Even when carrying its maximum payload of 3 kg, it achieves a robust 18-minute flight time. Designed for rapid deployment, Astro Max features folding arms that allow the drone to become half its normal size when packed, making it much easier to carry and store. The pre-installed Astro Isolator enables quick-release, powered payload attachment, streamlining workflow and minimizing downtime.
It's compatible with RGB, Thermal, Multispectral, Distance Sensors, and LiDAR technology, making this a truly versatile drone to carry out operations.
